January 2016 - Cetti's Warbler, Redwing & Firecrest among highlights

169 birds of 26 species were ringed, with
Blue Tit and Great Tit making up 40% of that number.

There were some good
species to have on the list in the first month of the year – a Redwing at
Tythebarns and 14 at Woolley Firs, Cetti’s Warblers at Bedfont and Stanwellmoor; Blackcap in the
Ealing garden; Chiffchaff at Bedfont and Wraysbury, 5 Yellowhammers at Woolley
Firs and a Firecrest at Stanwellmoor.

A Willow Warbler, we ringed near Ripley, Surrey last August passed through Main-et-Loirem, France, 413km away only 10 days later.
